So seeing quite a lot of commentary about how UX and/or HCI are becoming less of a big deal with #AI coming into the product development toolchain.
Noticed this on Quora yesterday:
Airbus cockpits have (had?) a “descent mode” indicator.
In “FPA” mode, a reading of “-3.3 FPA” means that the aircraft taking your family on holiday is descending at aproximately 600 to 800 feet per minute.
In “V/S” mode, a reading of “-33 V/S” means that the aircraft is descending at 3,300 feet per minute.
The industry has a euphemism for what could happen if a pilot mixes up those two, called a “CFIT”.
Either way, I’d like the pilot’s cognition taken into account in the design of this display…
